I Work Hard For The $

Man, feelin' a bit woozy from the past couple days of working long hours here at work. Getting home after 11pm or so is becoming normal practice, by god – had another deadline this morning where a team of experts came in and looked at the training program I've been working on for the past few months. They all gave thumbs up to the cartoon characters, dazzling animations and interactive exercises I've been toiling away on, so I'm feeling pretty good about the late nights. Damn, if I could put this much time and effort into my acting career I could probably remove the "in progress" from my site's title by now.

Actually I would consider this job pretty cool if 1) It wasn't so far away (35 miles each way) 2) I could work from home (seriously, I work using pencils, paper, Flash, Illustrator and a scanner, all of which I have at home) 3) I made more money. But, the money really isn't that bad and they let me go on auditions, so I can't complain too much.

Here's a rejected character from one of my training programs. The company I work for is a Swedish security company so I thought a Viking-like character mixed with a security guard would be hilarious. I was wrong and "Torr" was out.




















(I have removed all company logos from Torr and replaced
them with my own out of fear of being sued. Working for
The Man fosters this type of paranoia.)

edit - apparently, Blogger doesn't allow for Flash swf files.

Yeah that sounds dirty...I remember growing up when I first found Dad's "magazines" and played my own first game of Mario Kart in the bathroom.
